The small, glossy, dark green leaves look almost like 'box', making it a perfect subject for topiary. Relatively fast growing, it will need trimming regularly to keep it tidy. Requires a sunny, sheltered position and might behave as a semi-evergreen in colder winters. They will grow in any ordinary soil in either sunshine or shade. Bears small white flowers early to mid-summer if the plants are left untrimmed. 100-140cm tall and looks equally stunning in a pot.
